La Estrella certainly serves up stellar pan dulce, hot fresh tortillas and adorable cochinitos, but it’s hard to say no to the bakery’s empanadas. The soft, golden crust is almost more like a handpie and filling options include apple, pineapple, cherry and more. The pumpkin empanada in particular steals the show with fall baking spices and a smooth filling. Best of all, the Mercado San Agustin location offers another place to pick up all of La Estrella’s tasty treats.
